Since my last post…

August 26th, 2006

Well,
the funeral was intimate, yet weird. Growing up a lot closer to my Maori side, I’ve become accustomed to a Tangi or some form of wake, not here. It was all catholic, so it was foreign and alien, but we gave Nana a great send off nonetheless.

B-Fresh and Sleaze have a week to find a new flat by the end of next week, they’re pretty keen to leave the company of AlcoholicDragonWench, and I don’t blame them.

I’ve started looking at buying a house, especially with the Govt’s Welcome Home Package available. Though houses arent cheap, and I’m looking for a do-er upper ideally.

I got offered yet another job, and this one is really appealing – closer to home (like literally around the corner), more visibility of the technology, good benefits all for about the same as what I’m on now… I’m a little torn on the matter, but I reckon I’ll submit my CV and just see what happens.

And finally, work have failed to pay me for a month’s worth of overtime, so now I have (ironically) Telecom’s collections department hassling me (I can’t pay Telecom until Telecom pay me!), and a couple of other bills not far behind. So to say I’m miffed with the payroll lackies is to understate.

For those of you who are interested in my Mediawiki work, I’ve been fiddling with creating a CSS menu, the discussion of which you can see here

Oh well, hopefully things will get back on track soon

Nana Blundell

Just had a call at work on my mobile phone, I knew immediately what it would be because nobody ever calls me on my mobile phone.

My grandmother passed away earlier this afternoon. I don’t think I’ll post for a while
